Italian Wedding Soup #ItalianFood

My Italian Wedding Soup marries chicken with kale. Tender chicken meatballs and chunks of chicken, kale, pasta and Parmesan cheese. A hearty, satisfying soup to brighten winter.

My dad was actually born on the boat on it’s way to America from Italy. He was inside United States territorial water so he was a deemed a citizen. I don’t know much about his side of the family. He died when I small.
But there is definitely Italian in me when it comes to food!
I chose Italian Wedding Soup for my contribution to our Festive Foodies #ItalianDay event. Italian Wedding soup is a celebration soup that marries meat and greens. Usually the meatballs are beef. Chunks of chicken and spinach, kale or collards are added to the broth. Some people add cheese, eggs and pasta.
My version is made with chicken meatballs, chunks of chicken and kale. I added acini di pepe pasta and parmesan cheese.
